In his poem, “A Ritual to Read to One Another,” William E. Stafford clarifies why humans must communicate with one another, and to do so well and clearly. Many of us are still struggling with grief and anxiety after both the election of 2016 and COVID 19. In a time of stress how are we listening to and hearing one another? Please come to a service where we will get a chance to consider this and speak to others. We will also listen to the words of poet Andrea Gibson and learn what questions and thoughts they have to share for our journey.

Note: This service will be in person, with a recorded sermon from the UUA’s sermon of the month series.

Reverend Sharon K. Dittmar graduated with a Masters of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School in 1997. She served one year as Interim Minister at the Gathering at Northern Hills (Cincinnati, OH 1997-1998), and eighteen years as Minister at First Unitarian Church of Cincinnati (1998-2016). In 2016 she began work as Congregational Life Field Staff with the MidAmerica Region of the UUA. She serves as the primary contact for 35 “program sized” congregations (200 – 450 members) and coaches on stewardship, conflict transformation, staff supervision, clergy Board relationships, governance, and clergy development and transitions. She lives in Cincinnati and her hobbies include writing, reading (mystery and sci-fi/fantasy), gardening (particular interest in native species), spending time with friends and family, and remaining physically active.
